Community problems are complex - education, poverty, food security, neighbourhood revitalization, crime prevention, and environmental sustainability – and we cannot solve or create lasting change when we work in isolation. The collective impact approach differs from collaboration in that it requires us to work towards a common agenda, across multiple sectors. This is achieved through a backbone infrastructure whose role is to support the community and ensure effective and on-going collaboration.
If you are curious about how Collective Impact IS different and whether it will enable you to more effectively realize your community’s aspirations, this is a workshop you won’t want to miss! Keynote speaker and workshop facilitator, Sylvia Cheuy, will provide participants with resources and tools you can use to help collaborative table explore implementing a collective impact approach and provide the collaborative leadership necessary to affect measurable change on a complex issues. Sylvia will provide collaborative tables with key questions to use in considering whether the collective impact framework is right for you. She will also share examples of Collective Impact in action and offer resources you can use to scale up your collaborative community change effort.
Throughout the day, you will explore the key concepts of collective impact, spend time in dialogue and work through tools and resources that will help increase the effectiveness of your collaborative work. You will also have an opportunity to connect and share ideas and opportunities with other participants throughout the workshop.
